He believes that serving as a trustee is about teamwork, communication, and hard work, and for Cedar Hill to be the best community that it can be, our schools must educate each student to the highest level possible for that individual student.

"This can only be accomplished when each trustee listens to the issues and works together with fellow trustees to give the superintendent the resources and input he needs to be successful," Riggs said.
